Default Why I haven't been scrapping....
I've been working on this large commissioned portrait of 5 dogs. It seriously has had me so stressed out. I was so afraid that I would get almost done with it and then mess up the last dog. Watercolor can't be erased, so if you mess up, you can be royally screwed. So I feel like I've been holding my breath for a month while I've working on it. BUT, I finished yesterday and I so stinking HAPPY/RELIEVED/WAHOO! lol Anyhow, just thought I'd share what has been keeping me from scrapping. Its 16"x20".













Now onto the next few paintings. I don't think I will be scrapping again until the new year...

Corey thanks! Yeah, I would much prefer to paint in watercolor than acrylic. So much less cleanup involved. Although, with acrylic I do think being able to paint over your mistakes is kind of nice. Still, I love watercolor and its the only medium I paint in!
